Is it possible, even advisable, to try to be interdisciplinary when studying the creative industries?A view from the edgeMoeran, Brian (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This working paper reflects upon the difficulties of being interdisciplinary when studying the creative industries. After outlining the basic premises behind the ©reative Encounters research programme, it brings into play two editing activities in which the author has been involved over the past six months. One of these is a four volume set of readings in the creative industries which shows that, even though most writing on 'creative' industries stem from various governments' national policies promulgated from the end of the 1990s, there is plenty of material 'out there' from the late 1940s onwards. The other is an edited book on the role of fairs, festivals and competitive events in the creative industries which also revealed the extent to which history tended to be overlooked in a specific context by contemporary scholars in different disciplines. The paper concludes by asking what enables and what hinders interdisciplinarity, suggesting that institutional structures and the publishing industry in many ways are designed to prevent innovation in intellectual fields. It is these, therefore, that need to be reconsidered if we are to be successful in crossing over from one discipline to another. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8175

Cultural Cognition and U.S. Labor RelationsTackney, Charles T.; Sato, Toyoko (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Our study explores cultural cognition in comparative U.S. – Japan employment relations through interdisciplinary analysis of Japanese Supreme Court regulation of the post-World War II lifetime employment system and the latest data available on Japan's collective bargaining-based approach to employee participation in managerial prerogative. The comparative social policy aim is to examine and account for observed employment relations variance in the U.S. and Japan, given their similar labor legislation. Japan's Supreme Court recognizes lifetime employment as an institutionalized practice and we report all 236 references to the term "lifetime employment" in Japanese case law: 178 regional cases, 43 regional superior cases, and 15 Supreme Court cases. Quantitative analysis of Supreme Court cases contextualizes these references in post-World War II history; qualitative analysis focuses on the Court's discourse. Causally related to this recognition, management councils (a form of employee participation in managerial prerogative) are also a defining feature of Japanese employment relations at the enterprise level. Despite unionization rate declines in both nations, the persistence of Japan's participatory employee relations system contrasts sharply with recent U.S. state-based legislative assaults on long-standing collective bargaining, particularly for public sector unions. The concept of cultural cognition, recently deployed in legal studies to account for domestic U.S. risk, public policy and voting preferences, offers theoretical grounds for better understanding of the observed comparative variance in employment practices. We conclude with proposals for organized labor in the U.S. to strengthen prospects for informal network proliferation and employee participation, with the goal of enhancing national competitiveness.

Un estudio sobre emigrantes norteamericanos en un pueblo mexicanoBalslev Clausen, Helene (Frederiksberg, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Den traditionelle migrationsforskning betragter Mexico, som et typisk faktor eller transit land, samt har sit fokus på migrationsflowet fra Syd (Latinamerika) til Nord(USA). Dette case studie derimod bidrager empirisk med identifikationen af en ny type immigranter, angelsaksiske noramerikanere, som i stadigt større omfang emigrerer fra Nord(USA) til Syg(Mexico), hvilket som noget nyt også gør Mexico til et pull faktor land.....

tacit knowledge or/and cultural categorizationZølner, Mette (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper explores how locals span boundaries between corporate and local levels. The aim is to better comprehend potentialities and challenges when MNCs draws on locals' culture specific knowledge. The study is based on an in-depth, interpretive case study of boundary spanning by local actors in the period of post-acquisition when their organization is being integrated into the acquiring MNC. The paper contributes to the literature on boundary spanning in three ways: First, by illustrating that boundary spanning is performed by numerous organizational actors in a variety of positions in MNCs, inclusively by locals in subsidiaries. Second, by showing that boundary spanning is 'situated' in the sense that its result depends on the kind of knowledge to be transmitted and the attitude of the receivers. A third contribution is methodological. The study illustrates that combining bottom-up grounded approach with pattern matching is a way to shed light on the tacit local knowledge that organizational actors cannot articulate and that an exclusively inductive research is not likely to unveil.

Some descriptive results from DenmarkBille, Trine (, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the labor market for artists and in the creative industries more broadly: How important is a formal education for jobs in the creative industries? How are the careers of people with a creative education? Do they work in the creative industries or outside the creative industries? How is the profile of the jobs within the creative industries? Alper and Wassall (2006) present an overview of the economic, mainly empirical research concerning the labor market of artists. Different types of studies can be distinguished: theoretical models of artistic career processes, qualitative interviews and data, retrospective surveys and panel data based on surveys (either true panel studies or quasi panel studies). Some of the most extended studies on artists' earnings are done by Alper and Wassall on American census data, where data comes from peoples selfreporting in surveys, and peoples' occupation is based on time spent at work during a single reference week. This do obvious have some drawbacks. Register data from Statistics Denmark representing true panel data, makes it possible to overcome some of these problems and gain new knowledge on the career patterns of artists, their income, the importance of education, multiple jobholding etc. The register data used in this paper includes a lot of variables on socio-economy, income, employment etc. for the Danish population in the period 1994-2003. The paper includes a discussion and delimitation of artist and the creative industries, and presents new empirical results on the labor market for artists and in the creative industries URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7750

Some Preliminary Thoughts on Entering the FieldMoeran, Brian (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The theoretical discourses devoted to smell reflect a maze of fascinating taboos and mysterious attractions. In present-day Western societies, the sense of smell is undervalued. Scents are highly elusive and often cannot be directly named. Many languages have virtually no vocabulary to describe them, except in terms of the other senses of sight, sound, touch and taste. Scents are communicated primarily through metaphors. What are these linguistic and visual metaphors, and what do they tell us about the societies and cultures in which they are used? How do we know what scents 'mean'? Is smell a universal form of semiotic communication (as global advertising campaigns suggest), or does it vary in different social and cultural contexts (as anthropological and other literature asserts)? Are there specific 'scent cultures'? If so, in what do they consist? And how do these affect the creation, appraisal and use of fragrances in the three countries – Japan, France and the USA – in which I intend to conduct my research?

Tackney, Charles T. (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This is a participant-observer report concerning curriculum deployment of Bernard J.F. Lonergan's insight-based critical realism and general empirical method for interdisciplinary research methods and allied courses in Copenhagen Business School (CBS, Denmark), from 2001 to the present. I also report similar instruction in interdisciplinary methods for management and organization studies at the International School for Social and Business Studies (ISSB, Slovenia) in 2012.1 The overall time period has been entirely under the aegis of the Bologna Process, begun in 1999, and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), launched in March, 2010. Both the originating Bologna Process and subsequent EHEA envision curriculum development appropriate to "ensure that the European higher education system acquires a world-wide degree of attraction" (European Commission, 2013). In addition, the Bologna Process calls for specification of the "necessary European dimensions of higher education" (Ibid.). The point of this working paper is to report teaching success and indicate potential merits of Lonergan's general empirical method, grounded in insight-based critical realism, as a robust epistemological basis for EHEA university curriculum and instruction. The design approach to Lonergan's method offers grounds to think it uniquely adapted for interdisciplinary social science in the complex trans-cultural, multi-lingual, and religiously pluralist EHEA, thus providing curriculum content adequate and appropriate for the "necessary European dimensions of higher education.

Manufacturing Incense in JapanMoeran, Brian (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper focuses on a hitherto unremarked aspect of cultural production – smell. It first outlines the historical background of Japanese scent culture, before moving on to describe in detail the processes by which incense is produced in Japan, and the various challenges facing a manufacturer with regard to consistency of raw materials, kneading blended materials, and drying formed incense sticks. It then concentrates on a group of incense manufacturers located on the western coast of Awaji Island in the Inland Sea of Japan, and suggests that it is access to, and successful management of, olfactory knowledge that enables a sub-contracted supplier to become independent by producing his own incense brands. The paper concludes by drawing a series of parallels betweenthe symbolic and social uses of incense in contemporary Japanese society, and thus underscores the connection between olfaction and transition noted for many other societies.

Management Policies and Industrial Sector Ecology in Japan's postware Machine-tools Industry to the 1980sTackney, Charles T. (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This is an exploration, using Japanese language primary sources, of management policies and relat-ed industrial sector ecology of the post-World War II machine tools industry. From postwar devas-tation to global leader in worldwide market share by the mid-1980s, remarkably little is know of the factors that contributed to this sucess. Paralleling Max Holland's 1989 Burgmaster case study method of the U.S. firm's and industry failure, this study examines the history of Okuma Corpora-tion, an Aichi Prefecture machine tools producer. The role of management leaders and government support for viable firms is shown to provide the necessary industrial ecology for machine tools pro-ducers to recover, innovate, deal with successive oil shocks, and achieve a leadership role in the machine tools sector. Comparative reflections on the parallel decline of the U.S. machine tools in-dustrial sector conclude the paper. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8614

Abstract: In recent years, new digital media have become important for social networking and content sharing. Due to their large diffusion, social media platforms have also both increased the strategic importance of managing corporate reputation and rendered this more difficult. Companies are increasingly apprehensive about information and opinions that can spread through online communities rapidly without any control. While social media platforms increase the power of stakeholders, they also represent a large-scale source of information about feelings, opinions and sentiments of people that allow us to measure and monitor reputation through the analysis of user generated content in real-time. In this paper, we show how social media content can be used to measure the online reputation of a company. Furthermore, we present an open platform that uses a sentiment analysis algorithm on twitter traffic to monitor the real time evolution of company reputation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8730

Abstract: Wirken politische Maßnahmen so, wie sie sollen? Stehen Kosten und Nutzen solcher Maßnahmen in einem angemessenen Verhältnis? Die Forderung nach einer stärkeren empirischen Evidenz für die Bewertung und Planung politischer Maßnahmen kommt von verschiedenen Seiten. Anhänger einer stärkeren Deregulierung und Privatisierung fordern mehr Evidenz, weil sie skeptisch sind gegenüber staatlicher Regulierung. Lobbyismus- Kritiker fordern mehr Evidenz, weil sie damit den Einfluss von Interessengruppen sichtbar machen und zügeln wollen. Und Anhänger eines nachhaltigen, strategischen Konzepts glauben, dass politische Maßnahmen so weniger anfällig werden für die Hektik der Tagespolitik URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8400

By Evan Minsker on September 4, 2013 at 8:17 p.m. EDT
Aside from releasing David Lynch's latest album The Big Dream, Sacred Bones also released a vinyl edition of his Eraserhead soundtrack last year. And now, it is happening again. The label has released a limited batch of original pressings of the hard-to-find "Twin Peaks" soundtrack CD. It's called Twin Peaks: Season Two Music & More, and it features music by Angelo Badalamenti and Lynch. You can buy it now.
The label is also selling the CD version of his Eraserhead soundtrack with Alan Splet, which has been unavailable for over five years. Revisit Mark Richardson's 2012 interview with Lynch here, in which they discuss last year's Eraserhead soundtrack reissue.
[An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Sacred Bones was reissuing these records, rather than selling original pressings; Pitchfork regrets the error.]

Alexandria, VA In a review of three different surgical techniques commonly used for tonsillectomy, the microdebrider technique (where a rotary cutting tool is used to shave tissue) had the lowest overall complication rate when compared to the other two techniques. The results are shown in new research published in the June 2010 issue of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.
Tonsillectomy is among the oldest and most commonly performed procedures in the pediatric population. Approximately 530,000 outpatient pediatric adenotonsillectomies (which include removal of the adenoids) are performed annually in U.S. hospitals. Despite the frequency of the procedure, there is no universally accepted "ideal" method. And although generally considered a safe procedure, tonsillectomy has significant potential for complications, especially in the pediatric population. Potential major complications include: post-operative hemorrhage, dehydration, and anesthetic and airway risks. Common post-operative complaints like odynophagia (painful swallowing), otalgia (ear pain), fever, and uvular swelling tend to prolong the pediatric patient's recovery.
The objective of the new study was to determine if surgical technique is associated with a patient experiencing post-surgical complications after undergoing adenotonsillectomy, and to identify patients who may be "at-risk" for major complications after such surgery.
The case-controlled study included 4,776 patients age 1 to 18 years, undergoing adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, or adenotonsillectomy over a 36-month period. The three techniques compared were microdebrider, coblation (a controlled, non-heat-driven process using radiofrequency energy), or electrocautery (process of destroying tissue by heat conduction from an electrically heated metal probe).
Study results showed a statistically significant difference in the risks of developing a major complication of having a tonsillectomy with co

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

|Reviews for No Happy Endings
| moveinmysteriousways chapter 8 . 7/17/2012
Great story! It can't end there!
| happycat12 chapter 5 . 12/3/2009
This is quite brilliant - love how Harry gets Jo to interrogate Hogan cos he wants someone to get tough, man she must hate his guts and Zaf thinks about Jo when they are going to torture him so that he doesn't feel the pain - poor Zaf so sad
| happycat12 chapter 3 . 12/3/2009
love this story - love reading stuff with Zaf in it I miss him - he's fantastic and miss Jo too. Only thing I wasn't sure of at the end of this chapter when he says she's very beautiful was he talking about Ros or Jo - wasn't sure.
| XYZ chapter 8 . 2/7/2009
I love how Adam is refusing to leave his friend behind, but Zaf is being all self sacrificing..reminds me a bit of 6.01 in the back of that van though
But oh dear God no...please don't let Zaf be dead, please...I can't handle losing him again...I will cry so hard...
Ben on the other hand, meh, waste of space, that boy, he can die...his only redeeming quality was his glowing admiration for Zaf in that speech:)
But judging by the way Jo trails off at Ben's name when she comes in the cell and finds them... So I'm thinking Ben got shot? Hm...wishful thinking perhaps? ;)
| spookslove chapter 8 . 1/26/2009
Who died? I want to know! I have missed reading this! Can't wait for next chapter. :)
| DeletedAcccount chapter 8 . 1/7/2009
Can I say that this was great, and I'm a such a rubbish beta for not getting this back to you! I was in the midst of a big move and everything got a bit lost in my brain. Besides, from your writing I can tell that you don't need a beta anyway. Beautiful! I just hope Zaf okay. Meh, Ben can have his throat cut by a granny as far as I'm concerned... ;-)
| DEFiiANCE chapter 8 . 1/7/2009
OMG ... who is it? Who's dead? This is terrific ... and sligthly terrifying too :) Please UD soon!
| littlefizzy chapter 8 . 1/7/2009

You can't leave it there! What happens next?

| Section D chapter 7 . 9/9/2008
Don't leave it like that! We have to know what has happened! soonish please.

The Seattle outfit turns in a nuanced new downtempo original with a stuttered kick drum and reverbed vocal snippets against a serene melodic backdrop.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Albani Roma Rome
Nice but far
We stayed at the hotel twice on our tour. Once in the beginning for 2 days and we had a beautiful room- newly renovated. On our return visit later on in the week we were in a room that was like the other people reviewed- pink and green. We thought it was cool, but the room was older and needed some renovations. The bathroom was very clean. The continental breakfast was good. Overall a nice place if you are with a tour and the tour supplies transportation. If you are on your own you will have to take taxis, because the hotel is about ten minutes drive from most attractions.
Beautiful Hotel, brutal service.
The Albani hotel rome is an experience in itself. I personally liked the unusual decor so what if the carpets green?The bed is pink? It just gives the hotel an energetic and unusual look . Everything was spotlessly clean and the room was of a good size. The staff however were a different story. One receptionist was possibly the rudist woman i have ever met,getting tourist info was like blood from a stone. The location is not as far as some make out. With bus and tram locations withing two minutes walk all attractions are easy to get too. Walking to them is not out of the question either.Room serivce was terrible,one man serving the bar and every room in the hotel.But if rudeness dosent bother you and for a reasonable fee this hotel is attractive to the tourist.
Not the best, not the worst...
This hotel is adequate. We couldn't decide if the pink and lime green retro decor was retro decor or just really outdated! But it's clean and the breakfast was very nice. The lobby and other common areas are nicer than then rooms but the room was a good size. We had three people and it was fine. The staff was not very friendly but we found that to be true in most of the hotels we stayed at in Italy.
Worst place I have ever stayed in!!!
The staff at the Albani Hotel were the rudest people I have ever encountered in all my travels. The rooms were in desperate need of repairs. I have no idea how they stay in business. It sure isn't from repeat customers. RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!
Groovy, baby!
Okay, The Bellagio it is NOT. But so what? What a fun place! Pink beds, lime green carpets, sun-yellow bathrooms...what else could you ask for? How about a courteous staff and great breakfast every day. It's all there. I'm not sure if it's a bargain or not, as I stayed as part of a guided tour. But I'd definitely go back. I might even run into Austin Powers next time.
What a crazy place!
I just stayed at the Albani May 26,27, and June 1. I was booked through a tour group. While it was a nice hotel, it seriously needs updating. The others weren't kidding about the furnishings/colors. Bedrooms: green carpet, hot pink bed spreads, and roosters on the curtains with the walls covered with sand colored fake velvet.
Major problems with this hotel: if you have any environmental allergies (dust, mold, etc.) stay away from here. Many in our tour awoke each morning with severe allergy-related symptoms, including myself. Also, the walls are paper thin--worse than college dorms, street noise was horrific, even though it is not situated on a major thru-way.
Clean hotel, internet access for reasonable fee, breakfast buffet, large lobby/reception area, and bar. No parking that I could find. 10 minute cab ride from the Spanish Steps. Reception employees were accomodating and courteous, unlike previous reviews.
The rudest receiption staff we have ever encountered
I'm not sure which market this hotel is aiming at. It is too far away from any attraction to make it convenient for holidaymakers and has no facilities for the business traveller. The decor of the hotel was unusual to say the least and led us to believe that the interior designer was colour blind (our bathroom was tiled in orange, lilac and Turquoise tiles with salmon pink paintwork). Our bed was extremely uncomfortable, with vivid pink bedding which did not match the lime green carpet, mock-suede brown walls and rainbow covered chairs. The restaurant is situated in the basement and so had very little natural light, and we found the breakfasts uninspiring. However, our main grievance was with the hotel staff. The room was cleaned and the linen changed every day, but when we left a sticker on the air conditioning switch stating the AC didn't work, the sticker was removed but the AC not fixed. The bar was manned by just one barman and he would disappear for long periods. When we had waited five minutes, we went to reception to ask where he was and were told he was on a break and would be back in 10 minutes - no one else was deployed to man the bar even though there was a queue of thirsty guests. When we first arrived at the hotel we were greeted by a receptionist who gave us a very cold welcome indeed and when we checked out and asked for our bar bill, we were asked to sign a visa slip for an amount we disputed, without any back-up bar receipts. We asked if we could book a taxi to the train station for a particular time and were told that we couldn't - we should come to the reception desk and ask for one five minutes before we needed it. We went to the reception desk 10 minutes before we needed the taxi and it took so long for the receptionist to get through, we missed our train. Rome was absolutely wonderful and I would advise anyone to visit this beautiful and surprising city, but couldn't advise anyone to stay at this hotel.
Time Warp
We found the Albani to be a meticulously clean preservation of late 1950's early 1960's style. Bright pinks and greens abound. Marvelous marble staircases. Very large rooms and baths by Italy standards.
Efficient if not overly friendly staff. Close to good shopping in an upscale neighborhood. Not close to tourist attractions but great if you want to sample a different Rome.
My experience differed dramatically from the forst reviewer. The hotel was is a state of disrepair, and was decorated like something out of an Austin Powers movie. The elevator was out of order, and perhaps most importantly, the hotel is a long drive from most of the sights in Rome.
If cost is your primary consideration, you might be interested in this hotel, but for a few dollars more you can stay across the street from the forum in the Hotel Forum.
Albani Hotel: Wonderful place.
The Albani Hotel in Rome is a perfert place to stay if you enjoy a clean room. good service and a great restaurant. We looked forward to a pleasant breakfast every morning and a wonderful dinner in the evening. Several nice shops and restaurants are a short walk from the hotel. We were always
treated like special guests by everyone.

... when our coffees came out to 120 dk (Danish kroner). It just sounds scary when something costs 120 something, but $14 USD for 2 coffees is still ridiculous. We were lucky to have no one sharing the aisle with us on the plane, and stretched out over the three seats for the few hour flight. We arrive in Rome around 9 pm, and despite the sun already being down, the humidity is piercing to us Californians. We decided to Airbnb at all of our locations, and lucky for ...
When in Rome!!!
... him with a look of fear on his face. Screams came from everyone on the platform as the people closest to him tried to free him from the doors but trying not to fall down the massive gap or get taken off with the train. Thankfully, they got him out and Logan shot through as well. But we all made it and got to the colosseum. Ancient history was the only 'non creative' subject that I did well at and I enjoyed the colosseum so much! It was incredible. And yet again, ...

Today was the start of a new adventure. Women's Quest Tuscany had come to an end; in addition Tamara did not fly out until Monday and wanted the opportunity to see as much in Rome as possible on Sunday. We left early for the train station; after working with (or fighting with) the ticket machine, we had our tickets and knew our connections/times and were ready to go.

I was mainly thirsty so I bought a couple bottles of water but also a Panini with tomatoes and mozzarella. I sat with a couple from a different tour group—they were just starting their 2-week tour all over Italy and they had that look of a deer in headlights! They were from ...

It consisted of various shades of awe stemming from the senseless violence that happened there, the beauty of the building itself, the complexities of old Roman society and the power of the human imagination.
